Hey everyone, welcome back to the PPC Den Podcast! Today we’re talking about how to survive the craziest shopping days on Amazon. If you’ve ever freaked out over budgets and bids on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through how to use bulk files to create a Save State for your campaigns. The idea is simple: download all your campaign settings, make the adjustments you need for peak shopping days, and then restore everything back in one click once the rush is over.

We’ll cover how to manage budgets, keyword bids, ad groups, and more, all offline in a spreadsheet so you don’t have to stress over every little tweak while everyone else is enjoying the holiday. This strategy keeps you calm, efficient, and profitable, and gives you more time to actually enjoy your family and friends. 

Tune in, try it out, and make your Amazon PPC life a whole lot easier and more profitable this season.

We’ll see you in The PPC Den!

In this episode, Michael and Clément dive into the world of Amazon PPC and why 2025 is such an exciting time for advertisers. PPC used to be simple — one bid for everyone, everywhere. Now, with Top of Search, Product Page, and B2B placements, you can target audiences that convert like crazy.

Clément shares how they got early access to B2B in beta, and while it used to be a bit mysterious, it’s now available to everyone with clear data. The numbers are impressive: B2B customers convert almost twice as well, order more units per purchase, and cost less per sale.

They break down strategies for using B2B placements, either with dedicated campaigns or bid adjustments in your existing campaigns. Add Amazon Marketing Cloud audiences on top, and you can stack your targeting for even better results. The key takeaway? B2B is massively underutilized, and testing it could seriously boost your PPC performance.

In this episode, we dive deep into branded campaigns on Amazon PPC with Mike Danford from Adverio. Many clients run 30–70% of their budget on branded spend, but SQPD works differently — it helps you calculate your real share and spot cannibalization.

We break things into buckets like branded search, product defense, and placements, use dashboards and incrementality scores, and even show tricks like looser targeting to land on competitor pages cheaper.

A quick screenshare later shows how to pull a search term report, clean it up, and optimize spend step by step.
